I got these two sulcatas today. I thought initially they were male and female by the pictures of them, but now I'm not so sure. They measure 14" and 15" long. I have two pictures of each tortoise. ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1434249255.265795.jpg

@Tom @Yvonne G Looks like I get to break the tie...and at this point...I side with Yvonne! But Tom has a valid point. They may be too young! But I'm quite sure #1 is a female and #2 a male! Now...quit turning them over! :p

Compare the size of the tail in the second pic from post one here, to the size of your tortoise's tail.

I would estimate the tail of your tortoise to be around 10 times the size of the tail in the pic. Yours is clearly a male. The one in the pic might develop into a male or it might stay small and turn out female.
